PURPOSE The goal of this study was to perform a retrospective analysis of the ultrasonographic findings associated with low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma. METHODS Ten pathologically confirmed cases of low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma at our institution from January 2007 to April 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent a preoperative transvaginal ultrasound. Two rad...

The removal of the persistent CL by enucleation is a widely used treatment which results, in many instances, in restoring the oestrous cycle, although a relatively high incidence ofsubsequent cystic changes in the ovary has also been reported (Purse & Wickersham, 1969). Out of about 200 Fresian cows, six were selected in which the cyclic CL persisted for a period of over 30 days. The persistent...

We describe the pertinent organ-specific clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) as well as the radiological appearances that allow optimal depiction of pathology and diagnosis. Radiologic features of GISTs vary depending on tumor size and organ of origin. They most commonly have an exophytic growth pattern and manifest as dominant masses outside the organ of origin. ...

The biological behavior of a cystic pancreatic endocrine neoplasm is less aggressive than that of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms, and its prognosis is better. Limited surgery should be considered for cystic pancreatic endocrine neoplasms that are not accompanied preoperatively by lymph node or distant metastasis.

the neurilemmoma is a benign neoplasm of schwann cell origin. one of the histopathologic subtypes of this tumor is ancient schwannoma which is characterized by degenerative alterations including cystic change, calcification, hemorrhage, and hyalinization. intraosseous schwannomas especially ancient ones are rare tumors. here we present a case of intraosseous ancient schwannoma in the lower jaw ...

Lipoastrocytoma is an extremely rare tumor, with only a few cases described. We report a case of a low-grade astrocytoma occupying the right cortical lobe in the parafalcine location. The patient was admitted with headache, vomiting and altered sensorium for duration of 1 year. MRI revealed a large heterogeneous enhancing mass in the right fronto-parieto-temporal lobe with intratumoral fat alon...

Species originally from alpine wetland and alpine meadow communities now coexist in a novel 'alpine swamp meadow' community as a consequence of wetland drying in the eastern Tibetan Plateau. Considering the projected increase in the fluctuation of water supply from precipitation during the growing season in this area in the future, it is important to investigate the responses of the species tha...

Objectives: Cystic fibrosis is caused by a variant in the cystic transmembrane conductance regulator protein, of which class II variant, F508del, commonest. A number therapies aiming to correct F508del defect have been assessed clinical trials using change FEV1 and sweat chloride as outcome measures. We aim establish if there correlation between changes studies included Cochrane systematic revi...
